Carrier images

摘要

In one example, a first directive is received at a system. The directive is to embed, into content selected via a printer application accessed at a network-connected printer, a network address. A carrier image that includes the network address in encoded form is generated. A second directive, to provide first content to the printer, is received via the application. The carrier image is merged into the first content. After the merging, the merged first content is sent to the printer for printing.

主权项

1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a cloud printing server hosted on a first server to:
receive, at the cloud printing server, a first directive from a printer to embed a network address into first content to be printed at the printer; generate a carrier image that includes the network address in encoded form; after receiving the first directive, receive, at the cloud printing server, a second directive from the printer to provide the first content to the printer; obtain the first content from a content repository hosted on a second server in response to the second directive; merge the carrier image into the obtained first content; after the merging, send the merged first content to the printer for printing; receive, from a network accessible computing device other than the printer, a scanned image of the merged first content; recover the network address from the carrier image; and send the network address to the network accessible computing device, wherein the network accessible computing device utilizes the network address to access second content for display at the network accessible computing device.
